Car Accident Lawyer
MJP Injury Law represents people injured in car accidents throughout New York City and Long Island. The firm handles claims arising from rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, head-on collisions, drunk driving accidents, distracted driving, hit-and-run incidents, and serious-injury collisions on highways including the Long Island Expressway, the Cross Bronx Expressway, the Belt Parkway, the Northern State, the Southern State, and the Major Deegan. Founder Michael J. Prisco previously defended motor vehicle claims for insurance carriers and uses that experience to anticipate how insurers evaluate New York no-fault and bodily injury claims. The firm pursues compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future earnings, pain and suffering, and serious injuries that cross the New York no-fault threshold under Insurance Law §5102(d). Free consultations. Contingency fee — no fee unless the firm recovers for the client.
Truck Accident Lawyer
Collisions involving tractor-trailers, box trucks, dump trucks, garbage trucks, delivery vehicles, and commercial fleet trucks tend to produce catastrophic injuries and involve layered liability — driver negligence, employer liability under respondeat superior, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation (FMCSR) violations, improper loading, equipment failure, and broker or shipper negligence. MJP Injury Law investigates truck cases promptly, securing electronic logging device data, dash cam footage, driver qualification files, hours-of-service records, and post-accident drug and alcohol testing before that evidence is overwritten or destroyed. The firm represents clients across New York City and Long Island and handles cases in both New York State Supreme Court and the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. Initial consultations are free.
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcyclists in New York face unique legal challenges — including reduced no-fault benefits compared to occupants of cars and pervasive bias from adjusters who assume the rider was at fault. MJP Injury Law represents motorcycle riders injured in left-turn collisions, lane-change crashes, dooring accidents, road defect incidents, and crashes caused by drivers who failed to see the motorcycle. Founder Michael J. Prisco previously evaluated and defended motorcycle claims for insurance companies and applies that experience to challenge the unfair assumptions riders typically face. The firm represents injured motorcyclists throughout the five boroughs and Long Island and pursues full compensation for medical treatment, lost income, permanent injuries, and pain and suffering. Free consultations and contingency-based representation.
Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
New York City and Long Island see thousands of pedestrian-vehicle collisions every year — at crosswalks, mid-block, in parking lots, and in school zones. MJP Injury Law represents pedestrians struck by cars, trucks, buses, taxis, rideshare vehicles, delivery vans, and e-bikes. Pedestrian cases often involve serious injuries, complex no-fault and Supplementary Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (SUM) claims, and aggressive comparative-fault defenses from insurance companies. The firm investigates each case using NYC DOT crash data, 311 records, surveillance footage, MV-104 police reports, and witness statements, and pursues every available source of recovery — the at-fault driver's policy, the client's own SUM coverage, and any commercial policy involved when the striking vehicle was used for work. Free initial consultation.
Bicycle Accident Laywer
Cyclists injured in collisions with motor vehicles in New York have rights under both the Vehicle and Traffic Law and Insurance Law. MJP Injury Law represents bicycle riders hit by drivers in dooring incidents, intersection collisions, sideswipes, and bike-lane incursions throughout New York City and Long Island. The firm handles cases involving traditional bicycles as well as e-bikes, and recovers compensation for medical bills, bike replacement, lost income, and serious injuries including fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal trauma. Initial consultations are free, and the firm works on contingency.
Rideshare Accident Lawyer (Uber & Lyft)
Accidents involving Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare vehicles trigger unique insurance coverage rules under New York's Transportation Network Company (TNC) law. Coverage available depends on whether the driver was logged off, logged in but waiting for a fare, en route to a passenger, or actively transporting a passenger at the moment of the crash — and rideshare insurers frequently exploit this complexity to deny or undervalue claims. MJP Injury Law represents passengers injured in rideshare vehicles, drivers and passengers of other cars hit by rideshare drivers, and pedestrians struck by rideshare vehicles. The firm identifies every applicable layer of coverage — TNC policy, personal auto policy, and SUM — and pursues full compensation. Cases handled in New York City and across Long Island. Free consultations.
Construction Accident Lawyer
New York Labor Law §240(1), commonly called the "scaffold law," provides absolute liability against owners and general contractors when a worker is injured by an elevation-related hazard — falls from scaffolds, ladders, roofs, or other heights, or being struck by falling materials. New York Labor Law §241(6) imposes non-delegable duties to comply with the Industrial Code and applies to a broader range of construction-site hazards. MJP Injury Law represents construction workers injured in falls, scaffold collapses, ladder accidents, hoist and lift failures, falling object strikes, trench collapses, electrocutions, and crane and equipment incidents at job sites throughout New York City and Long Island. The firm coordinates Labor Law claims alongside Workers' Compensation benefits to secure the full recovery available under New York law, and pursues third-party claims against owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and equipment manufacturers. Free consultation. No fee unless the firm recovers.
Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer
Slip-and-fall injuries result from wet floors, snow and ice that wasn't properly cleared, leaks, spills, freshly waxed surfaces, and similar transitory hazards. New York requires the injured person to prove that the property owner or operator either created the dangerous condition or had actual or constructive notice of it and failed to address it within a reasonable time. MJP Injury Law investigates slip-and-fall cases promptly to preserve evidence — incident reports, surveillance video, maintenance logs, and prior complaints — before it disappears. The firm handles slip-and-fall cases at supermarkets, retail stores, restaurants, gas stations, apartment buildings, parking lots, hotels, and other commercial premises throughout New York City and Long Island. Free consultations.
Trip and Fall Accident Lawyer
Trip-and-fall injuries typically involve raised, broken, or uneven walking surfaces — defective sidewalks, broken stairs, torn carpeting, uncovered floor openings, exposed wires or pipes, and parking lot wheel stops. The legal analysis turns on whether the defect was open and obvious, whether it was trivial as a matter of law, and whether the defendant had notice of the condition. MJP Injury Law has handled trip-and-fall cases involving every category of walking-surface defect across New York City and Long Island. The firm orders engineering inspections, reviews building department and Department of Transportation records, pulls 311 history where applicable, and uses photogrammetry and scaled measurements to establish the dimensions of the defect that caused the fall. Free initial consultation.
NYC Sidewalk Defect Accident Lawyer
Under New York City Administrative Code §7-210, owners of property abutting a sidewalk — other than one-, two-, or three-family owner-occupied homes used exclusively for residential purposes — are liable for personal injuries caused by their failure to maintain the sidewalk in reasonably safe condition. The City of New York may also be liable if the defect appeared on a Big Apple Pothole map filed prior to the accident, or if specific prior written notice exists under Administrative Code §7-201. MJP Injury Law searches Big Apple Pothole maps, prior written notice indices, NYC DOT records, and 311 complaint data as part of every sidewalk defect investigation, and pursues claims against property owners, the City, and any contractor whose work caused the defect. Cases handled across all five boroughs. Free consultation.
Premises Liability Lawyer
Premises liability covers injuries that occur on someone else's property because the owner or operator failed to maintain it in reasonably safe condition. MJP Injury Law represents clients injured in slip-and-falls, trip-and-falls, stairway accidents, falling-object incidents, broken handrails and balcony failures, defective elevators and escalators, swimming pool accidents, dog bites, and inadequate-security assaults. The firm handles cases involving residential apartment buildings, NYCHA properties, commercial properties, retail stores, restaurants, hotels, parking lots and garages, and public spaces throughout New York City and Long Island. Initial consultations are free. The firm works on contingency.
Wrongful Death Lawyer
When a person is killed by another's negligence, New York's Estates, Powers and Trusts Law §5-4.1 and §5-4.3 allow the personal representative of the estate to bring a wrongful death action recovering pecuniary loss to the decedent's distributees, along with a separate survival action for conscious pain and suffering between injury and death. MJP Injury Law handles wrongful death claims arising from motor vehicle and pedestrian fatalities, construction accidents, premises accidents, medical malpractice, and product defects. The firm coordinates the Surrogate's Court process for appointment of a personal representative — including limited letters of administration where needed to commence suit — and litigates the underlying liability case in parallel. Cases handled in New York State courts and federal court. Free, confidential initial consultation.
Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Medical malpractice claims require proof that a healthcare provider departed from accepted standards of medical care and that the departure proximately caused injury. New York imposes a 2 ½-year statute of limitations on most medical malpractice claims under CPLR §214-a, with specific extensions for foreign-object cases, continuous treatment, and the recently enacted Lavern's Law for cancer misdiagnosis. MJP Injury Law evaluates potential malpractice claims involving misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, anesthesia complications, medication errors, hospital negligence, and emergency room mistakes. Because medical malpractice cases turn on expert testimony, the firm consults with qualified medical experts before filing and develops the case for trial from the outset. Free initial review of potential claims.
Product Liability Lawyer
Product liability claims arise when a defective product causes injury — through a manufacturing defect, a design defect, or a failure to warn of foreseeable risks. New York recognizes product liability claims under strict products liability, negligence, and breach of warranty theories. MJP Injury Law handles cases involving defective vehicles and component parts, dangerous machinery and power tools, defective medical devices, household appliances, children's products, and consumer goods. The firm preserves the product immediately after retention, coordinates joint inspection protocols with defense counsel and chain-of-distribution defendants, and works with engineering and design experts to establish the defect and the safer alternative design. Cases handled in New York State and federal court. Free consultation.
Catastrophic Injury Lawyer
Catastrophic injuries — traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures, and other injuries causing permanent disability — require representation that goes beyond a routine personal injury case. Lifetime medical care, future lost earnings, home and vehicle modifications, and the human cost of permanent disability all need to be developed through life-care planners, vocational economists, neuropsychologists, and other experts. MJP Injury Law handles catastrophic injury claims arising from motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, medical malpractice, and product defects, building each case for trial from the outset to capture the full value of long-term damages. Cases handled across New York City and Long Island. Free, confidential initial consultation.
Bus Accident Lawyer
Bus accidents in New York can involve MTA buses, MTA Bus Company routes, NICE Bus on Long Island, Suffolk County Transit, school buses, charter buses, intercity coaches, and private shuttle services. Claims against the MTA, NYCTA, and other public authorities are subject to a 90-day Notice of Claim requirement under General Municipal Law §50-e and Public Authorities Law §1212, and missing that deadline can permanently bar a claim. MJP Injury Law represents bus passengers, pedestrians struck by buses, and occupants of other vehicles hit by buses, and handles the Notice of Claim filing, statutory 50-h hearing, and litigation through trial. Cases involve injuries from sudden stops, collisions, doors closing on passengers, and trip-and-fall incidents inside the bus. Free consultations.
Taxi & Livery Cab Accident Lawyer
Taxi and for-hire vehicle accidents in New York City involve specific insurance and regulatory frameworks under the Taxi and Limousine Commission. Yellow cabs, green Boro taxis, black cars, livery cabs, and Uber/Lyft vehicles each operate under different licensing and coverage rules, and TLC-licensed vehicles carry specific minimum coverage requirements that differ from standard passenger auto policies. MJP Injury Law represents passengers injured in taxis and for-hire vehicles, drivers and occupants of other vehicles struck by taxis, and pedestrians hit by TLC-licensed drivers. The firm identifies every applicable layer of coverage — the TLC vehicle policy, the driver's personal coverage, dispatcher or base liability, and the client's own SUM coverage — and pursues full compensation. Free initial consultation.
E-Bike & E-Scooter Accident Lawyer
E-bikes and e-scooters now produce a meaningful share of New York's serious injury cases — for riders thrown from defective devices, for pedestrians struck on sidewalks, and for cyclists and motorists in collisions. The legal framework is still developing: New York Vehicle and Traffic Law now distinguishes Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes, NYC has authorized rental e-scooter pilots in certain neighborhoods, and insurance coverage questions vary by device classification and use. MJP Injury Law handles claims involving privately owned and rental e-bikes and e-scooters, food delivery worker collisions, defective batteries and motors, and pedestrian-strike cases. The firm investigates the device, identifies the operator's insurance and any rental company liability, and pursues every available source of recovery. Free consultations.
Snow & Ice Accident Lawyer
Slip-and-fall accidents on snow and ice are governed by the "storm in progress" doctrine in New York, which generally suspends a property owner's duty to clear accumulating snow and ice until a reasonable time after precipitation ends. Whether a storm was in progress, when it ended, and whether enough time passed to require remediation are typically the central litigation issues — resolved through certified weather data from NOAA and meteorological expert testimony. NYC Administrative Code §16-123 imposes specific snow removal timeframes on abutting property owners, and Long Island municipalities have parallel local code provisions. MJP Injury Law handles snow and ice cases involving sidewalks, parking lots, residential walkways, commercial entrances, and apartment building common areas. Free initial consultation.
Stairway Accident Lawyer
Falls on stairs frequently involve building code violations — handrail height, riser uniformity, tread depth, lighting, and slip-resistance requirements under the New York City Building Code, Multiple Dwelling Law, and Property Maintenance Code of New York State. MJP Injury Law investigates stairway falls with engineering experts who measure each riser and tread, document handrail compliance, and identify code violations that establish negligence. Cases involve falls in apartment buildings (including NYCHA developments), commercial buildings, retail stores, restaurants, schools, and public stairways. Defendants may include building owners, managing agents, contractors who installed or modified the staircase, and the City of New York for stairs in public spaces. Free consultation.
Elevator & Escalator Accident Lawyer
Elevator and escalator accidents in New York frequently arise from misleveling, sudden stops, free-falls, doors closing on passengers, and entrapment incidents. Liability typically extends beyond the property owner to the elevator maintenance company under contract, with the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur often available to shift the burden of explanation to the defendants. MJP Injury Law represents people injured in elevator and escalator incidents in apartment buildings, office buildings, hospitals, retail stores, transit stations, and hotels throughout New York City and Long Island. The firm secures Department of Buildings inspection records, maintenance logs from the service company, and recall and modification history of the specific elevator before that evidence is destroyed. Free initial consultation.
Inadequate Security & Negligent Security Lawyer
Property owners in New York have a duty to take reasonable security measures against foreseeable criminal acts on their property — particularly when prior similar incidents on or near the premises put the owner on notice. Inadequate security claims commonly involve assaults, robberies, and other violent incidents in apartment building lobbies and stairwells, parking lots and garages, hotels, bars and nightclubs, and commercial properties. MJP Injury Law investigates the foreseeability element through prior incident records, NYPD precinct crime data, 911 call logs, and CompStat data, and pursues claims for injuries caused by absent or non-functioning security cameras, broken locks and access controls, inadequate lighting, and absence of security personnel where reasonably required. Free consultation.
Dog Bite & Animal Attack Lawyer
New York applies a "vicious propensity" rule to most dog bite cases — generally requiring proof that the owner knew or should have known of the dog's dangerous tendencies before the attack — and the law in this area continues to evolve through cases like Flanders v. Goodfellow. New York City also has specific Health Code provisions and reporting requirements for animal bites under 24 RCNY §11-04. MJP Injury Law handles dog bite and animal attack cases involving pit bulls, German shepherds, rottweilers, and any breed with a history of aggression, and pursues claims against owners, landlords with knowledge of dangerous animals on the premises, and animal-related businesses. Compensation can include emergency medical care, scarring and disfigurement, plastic surgery, psychological treatment for trauma, and lost income. Free consultations.
Swimming Pool Accident Lawyer
Swimming pool accidents — drownings, near-drownings causing brain injury, diving injuries, slip-and-falls on pool decks, and entrapment in drains — can involve liability against homeowners, hotel and motel operators, apartment buildings, country clubs, public pool operators, and lifeguard services. New York imposes specific safety requirements on residential pools (fencing, alarms, anti-entrapment drain covers under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act) and on public pools regulated under 10 NYCRR Subpart 6-1. MJP Injury Law investigates pool incidents to identify code violations and safety failures, and pursues claims for catastrophic injuries that often include traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. Free initial consultation.
Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect Lawyer
Nursing home residents in New York have specific statutory rights under Public Health Law §2801-d, which provides a private cause of action — including punitive damages and attorney's fees — when a residential health care facility deprives a resident of rights guaranteed by state or federal law. Common claims involve pressure ulcers (bedsores), falls, medication errors, malnutrition and dehydration, wandering and elopement, physical and emotional abuse, and wrongful death. MJP Injury Law handles nursing home and assisted living facility cases throughout New York City and Long Island, securing facility records under HIPAA-compliant authorizations, Department of Health survey reports, and staffing data to establish the facility's failure to meet the standard of care. Free, confidential initial consultation for families.
Dram Shop & Liquor Liability Lawyer
New York's Dram Shop Act, codified at General Obligations Law §11-101 and Alcoholic Beverage Control Law §65, imposes liability on bars, restaurants, liquor stores, and social hosts who unlawfully serve alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person or to a person under 21, when that service causes injury to a third party. Typical fact patterns involve drunk-driving collisions, bar fights, and falls by overserved patrons. MJP Injury Law investigates dram shop claims through credit card and POS records, surveillance video, server statements, and toxicology evidence, and pursues claims against the establishment alongside the underlying tortfeasor. Cases handled in New York City and Long Island. Free consultation.
